    Your Birthday engine has much more than 1/64 hp !!! I reckon about 200W. And that is steam power, so it will turn a big prop. If we design a appropriate hull it can be impressively fast, but not as fast as a average el. motor driven planing hull.

    Yeah, sorry 'bout that (krobert). Huh. I found out why each year matters with "Folks my age," well, you were a kid once, so you will understand what I'm saying. You know how your parents don't take you seriously when your a kid? well, the reason that every year matters to folks my age is because every year you are closer to being an adult, that is all the more your parents take you seriously. And apex, you say my motor is more than 1/64 of a hp? wow! I underestimated it!

    Mike,

    It's not so much years but respect, and thinking for yourself rather than having everyone else do it for you. If you take people seriously, they will take you seriously. You can be funny every now and then, but if somebody who knows what you're struggling with tells you their side of it, and you don't listen, then they will give up. If you DO listen, even if you don't agree, you can respectfully disagree and debate about it.

    It's terribly difficult for a teenager to respect his parents, but until you do and show it, they will treat you like a kid. You don't have to be an expert on anything, but you need to learn from what life throws your way and mold your life by that.

    So, to come to the point now,
    I think we are through with all the tales and phantasies..............?

    What is the real project from now on???


    you know I´m already 60, that means just another 45 years to live, or so. And 45 years are nearly nothing, you´ll see.

    there is a doubt here I received per PM:

    So, my young friend, if I suffer the loss of that muff, I doubt I can hold my fingers warm enough to assist your project further on!

    Regards
    Richard

    Confused, İ am shure that was not enough beef in your answer to satisfy such a man as Richard. He is waiting for a constructive and detailed plan of what you are going for. İf that person is willing to invest his time in your project. be happy, others woul pay thousands to have a five minute fone call with him.
    Be a bit more engaged and not lazy, it is worth.
    Good luck for your boat project
    Sasha
